Excellent ChoiceI had a hard time deciding which brand dishwasher to buy. I went with this one because of the recommendation from a friend that works at hhgregg. I install it myself which wasn’t difficult. They have very good directions provided.
The performance of the dishwasher is really great. It has a lot of nice features. It gets all the dishes clean and all dry except for a little water on the tops of plastic dishes which happens with all dishwashers. I am now a Whirlpool fan. I will go with them for all my appliances and I replace them. Thanks!

ExcellentI had a Bosch dishwasher for 15 years and was hesitatant to buy a Whirlpool. After reading alot of reviews and speaking to the salesman I decided to go with this model. While reading the reviews the one thing that kept coming up as a negative was the utensil holder. I still bought it but I do agree the utensil holder is a bit awkward. It falls off easy and takes a few times to get back on the little hooks that hold it on, but you can move it around and put it in different places in the dishwasher. That is the ONLY negative about this dishwasher. It washer excellent, my dishes come out so clean I do not have to pre wash before loading it. I highly recommend this dishwasher.

SO quiet and cleans wellI do pre-rinse some dishes as we don't run the dishwasher every day, maybe just two or three times a week. It cleans well and is so quiet. I relocated the silverware basket to the left side of the lower rack, tho it will fit nicely in the door and save some space. I like the idea that it can be moved and placed where you want it. The filter is very easy to clean.
Occasionally, the spinner in the top of the dishwasher comes off, and I find it on the upper rack after the cycle is through. Don't know if that's due to water pressure, because nothing is touching or impeding it. However, I just pop it back on. That is the only negative.

Love this dishwasherAfter searching and researching we decided on this model mainly because of the stainless tub and the optional silverware placement. The silverware basket is sometimes awkward to use, but all in all I like that it allows more room for dishes when placed on the door.
The dishwasher is extremely quiet. It washes the dishes to a sparkling shine with no grit or residue. We have only used the sensor cycle which is recommended for most daily use. It works for us.
Great investment!

Super super quiet!This is one quiet dishwasher. Ill be honest had this model not been on sale when we purchased our appliance package I would not have bought it but now that we have it I will say that I would have spent the extra money had I needed to or known how quiet this unit is. It cleans well and the silver wear basket in the door does save space. It takes some getting use to loading because it has so many options to move racks and adjustments I'm not yet sure what works best I have never had these features before its pretty cool! All and all no complaints the door is pretty low which makes loading the silver wear basket kinda hard but it's not a deal breaker by any means

This product has many great features and performs very well.I have been very pleased with the overall performance of my new Whirlpool dishwasher. It cleans very well and also dries even plastic dishes much better than my previous dishwasher. I love the hidden control panel and all the wash options available. I use the overnight cycle whenever possible as it is the most energy efficient and cost effective cycle. I also love the one-hour wash cycle option when I need to wash dishes in a hurry. This dishwasher was a replacement for another brand that did not have these features and didn't perform nearly as well. I am very happy with my Whirlpool Gold Series dishwasher and would highly recommend this model.

I know dishwashers and this one is great.12 years - 3 dishwashers. Not something to be desired. Finally this dishwasher has solved the problems of the others! I have an irregular height counter and this dishwasher fits! Love the stainless steel which I could not get before. Dishes are very clean and it's quiet. Love that when trying to talk in the kitchen. Overall I am very satisfied and pleased that I was able to get this product at my local kitchen store rather than a big box store. Plus the dishwasher was made in Clyde, Ohio which is only about 25 miles from my house. And best if all, easy controls to use. I like to shop locally and am pleased that Whirlpool is making that possible.

Excellent UnitIt is odd, the one thing that really sold me was the silverware basket. That is now,however the thing I would change if I could. The basket can mount in the door, hang on front of the lower tray in slots, or sit in the lower tray. All good in concept but if you put any tall utensils in from of the soap dispenser it will not open fully and the soap will not drop. Hence your load of dishes will not get clean. Small slots on top of the baskets also need to either be removed or you cannot insert some style of silverware through the slots for cleaning. Without this small problem which we have figured out i would have given the unit 5 stars all across.
